sweet sunday sketch challenge #9


Good morning - It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! Here is the deal: make a card with this layout and use Mr. Linky down at the end of my post to enter your card. On Thursday at 2 PM (Mountain Time), I'll randomly select one card to feature on my blog. So, as long as your card is linked in the Mr. Linky box by 2 PM Thursday, your card will be in the drawing. Be sure to link directly to the blog post or gallery image which features your card. You may post a picture of the sketch on your blog, but please save the image to your computer first. Use the keyword SSSC09 if you plan to post your card at SplitcoastStampers.

My sample today uses a shiny new set for me, Trendy Trees - yummo! I always think of Autumn Vine paper when I use trees and I dove right into the package along with some OLD sage shadow polkadot ribbon. I looped a separate piece of ribbon to create the bow, held together by a button and thread. Hope you like it! Now it's your turn - have fun!!

Karen

Gorgeous as usual Karen. I see trees everywhere and I don't own any. :( I'm looking forward to playing with your sketch.

this is such a nice colour combination - the ribbon is gorgeous! And I am so hoping those trees make it to Australia in the new catty!

Thanks for the challenge Karen. Your card is fab! Not entirely sure I can say the same about mine. Oh well, better luck next time.

Oops - I forgot to mention how cute your card is! I like the color combo you used - it's works perfectly with the trees.

I had another go at this today...not much of an improvement on my first attempt, especially for all the frustation and wasted cardstock involved.
